In his Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reiterates that new Mac models with the M4 chip are still on track to launch later this year, although there is one interesting new detail. Gurman also adds that MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro will receive their M4 updates in 2025.

Apple last updated the MacBook Pro and iMac models last October at its “Scary Fast” event, introducing M3 chips across the board. MacBook Pro received a new Space Black finish, as well as a cheaper entry-level model that replaced the old 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. The 24-inch iMac stayed mostly the same, although the included Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard did not transition to USB-C. Those accessories unfortunately still use Lightning.

With a new update coming to these models this fall, Gurman doesn’t expect much other than the introduction of new M4 chips. The M4 chip first debuted in the iPad Pro back in May, with no Mac models receiving the new chip yet. Since the iMac still uses Lightning accessories, I’d also guess that we’ll see USB-C accessories in the box of the 24-inch iMac model with M4 later this year.

Gurman also says that we’ll see a Mac mini update later this year, which is a bit more interesting. The Mac mini skipped the M3 series of chips, and was last updated in January 2023. Back with that refresh they introduced a new model of Mac mini with the M2 Pro chip, but other than that it was a light refresh.
